The Belted Cow

I will admit, I am a loyal shopper to things made in the United States. Of course It's unavoidable to buy things from China and other countries, however, if I can get a product made in the United States, then I am more likely to purchase it.
The Belted Cow is a belt company that is located in Maine. The belts are manufactured right in Maine and couldn't be more perfect. After receiving my belt in the mail, I just knew that this company was worth blogging about.

Look how cute the tin is that the belt came in!

They make ribbon products and each design on every ribbon is designed by an artist. When you are browsing the belts you can actually see which artist designed your belt and can read a bio on each one. These designs are fabulous and unique and the colors are so bright. The leather is thick and very high-quality along with the metal hardware.
I know Vineyard Vines makes a very similar styled belt, and I own several and have seen other companies versions as well. This makes the Vineyard Vines version look like the ugly step sister. The leather is so much thicker, the colors are so much brighter and the canvas backing is clearly nicer. Not to mention, the Belted Cow's prices are on average $5 or more less and you can even find some Belted Cow products on sale for around $30! This company has made it affordable to own not only a gorgeous belt, but truly, a piece of artwork.
at $45, this is perfect for any guy or gal and with so many designs to choose from, it's easy to find a design for anyone!

My mom snapped this picture of me getting ready one day and I had my Belted Cow belt on. It was so hard to chose which one I wanted but I figured that this one was appropriate for all seasons!

I got the Derby Leather Tab Belt and am never looking back. How absolutely perfect is this company for any of your gifting needs. It's even already packaged up in the cute little tin, ready to give someone! Not to mention they have a million different options to choose from; there's a design for everyone! Have you ever heard of the Belted Cow? I am starting to think Mac needs a collar to match my belt... what do y'all think? Have a fabulous day!
Yours,
